HI All,
I am basically installing network driver programatically on Win2000 using
utility provided in DDK2000 samples which is snetcfg.exe which is a command
line utility where you can provide the .inf file for the driver you want.
But I have modified the 'C' program to install only my network driver.
Now
the .inf file it needs can be stored anywhere on the computer and I am
storing the the path for the inf file in the registery and using that path
in the function. But the problem is if i provide a variable then the
function doesn't work at all but if I give the hard coded path then it works
absolutely fine..But important is I need to use the variable path read from
the registry and not the specific path..This is the way I am doing it..

RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
(LPCTSTR)lpSubKey,

/*the value of szFullPath is the correct value it shows while debugging*/
RegQueryValueEx(hKey, (LPCTSTR)"FullPath", NULL, NULL,(LPBYTE)

&dwBufLen);
RegCloseKey( hKey );
printf( "The fullpath is %s \n", &szFullPath );
/*if i use this temp in the HrInstallNetComponent function then it installs
the driver correctly*/
//temp = L"C:\\Program Files\\LoadApplication7\\netsf.inf";
/*And this doesn't work but I want to use variable path*/
temp = (PCWSTR) szFullPath;
printf( "The fullpath is %s \n", temp );
printf("Please wait while it installs the Network Driver for you
/*if I use szFullPath variable directly then also it doesn't work and give
me the same hRes value.Only works with harcoded string*/
hRes = HrInstallNetComponent(L"ms_sFilter", NC_NetService,temp);
//80070002
is the hRes while running the exe
printf( "The Result is %x \n", hRes );
